Red!

Red nails!

Hey all! I thought tonight I would do a post on the theme of red nails! When done well, red nails can look really elegant yet fierce at the same time! In my opinion red nails can look good on short and long nails. At the moment I've got short nails, which are cut short so they're all long and at even lengths when grown, yet the red polish still looks amazing!

 

One of my favourite red polishes is from Nails Inc and is calles 'St James'. It's a deep yet bright red with full coverage in just one coat. I also like a red from Orly called 'Unlawful', but it needs quite a few coats to have a rich effect.
With red polish I would suggest using a topcoat that leaves a long lasting shine. I would recommend either the Nails Inc Kensington Caviar 45 second drying topcoat, or even Nails Inc's new gel effect topcoat! This gel effect topcoat will take slightly longer to dry, but gives the impression of an expensive gel manicure.

Another red polish that I really like is from Orly and is called 'Devil May Care'. It's a red and gold sprinkley glitter, and looks amazing over a red polish! (Ideal toe nail colour, for longevity.)
